Does anyone know, when Thule-River talked about installing SMA diesels in a Skymasters, did they have to perform major modifications to the cowling like SMA had to do with the 182? Is there enough...

I agree with you Dave.

Things that use to upset me, at the most irritate me now or don't care too much about. There seems to be only so much I can control in life, the rest is like filling in the...

Just scanning through old forum messages on EI. The concept of Electronic Iginition and FADEC for the TCM IO-360 really just disappeared into a black hole.

That's exactly what I was thinking of when it wouldn't lock into place. Those accidents where the seat moved while taking off. Nope, didn't do any flying that day. The good news is...

Hi Herb,

Yes, that is what happening. The pin doesn't drop into the rail holes. It did work after swaping the seats the first time, but I've had to have them removed a couple more times for...
